holy crap.......

I can't wait! I'm guessing night drift is on for this year starting april? :-)

Ritz S14 · 02-28-2006, 11:20 PM

Only 2 months away. I doubt it's gonna go as planned, but I can't wait.

*!Zar!* · 03-01-2006, 12:06 AM

Man I can't wait for this. Oh happy days~

95zilvia · 03-01-2006, 12:57 AM

It's boner time!

Andrew Bohan · 03-01-2006, 01:16 AM

based off that scribble scrabble pic they made, i made a pic of what i interpret the track to look like, assuming what they drew is racing lines, and not center lines. cuz that's what they looked like to me

infinitexsound · 03-01-2006, 02:16 AM

gonna be insane.... i guess us folks in the bay and greater bay area have it better then socal folks..... like 5 tracks with in couple hours driving distance... and 2 of them are world recognized historic tracks.... laguna and infineon <15-20 min away for me...

Much thanks to Riverside Motorsports Park for realizing what a great oppritunity it is for them and for the people of Northern CA...

Also what this means is, there well be more events in all sorts of racing year round... which is good entertainment and work for me...

monkey7 · 03-01-2006, 02:41 AM

It will be a interesting year for the altamont. I hope that the risk is lower on trying the big bank. But then again that was the excitement or painfull entertainment.

gbond15 · 03-01-2006, 05:52 PM

i hope we still run the banking, that was the best part about night drift.

khmerguy618 · 03-01-2006, 09:01 PM

man i didn't even get to see the old track except on videos. well when i get back from overseas i hope i'll be able to check it out. looks pretty cool

Drift_Ladie · 03-01-2006, 09:24 PM

dct223 · 03-02-2006, 02:00 AM

wow looks awesome!! Cant wait for next season of night drift!

Boost Monkey · 03-02-2006, 02:42 AM

i missed all the night drift events last year because i had class til 9pm every thursday...hopefully this year the night drift wont fall on a night im stuck in class. and the new track configuration (according to the picture depiction), looks fun as hell, cant wait...

kuramaya · 03-02-2006, 04:45 AM

Man we get the cars cheap and you get nice big ass tracks! Looks like fun man..

*!Zar!* · 03-02-2006, 09:23 AM

Night drift will still be $50 right!?!?

Andrew Bohan · 03-02-2006, 10:46 AM

i doubt it, but i think it'll still be on the cheap end of the spectrum, especially if it's a weeknight. weekends is a whole different story

this just in:

shock bringing you the news first

edit: and here's the gallery (which was posted AFTER i made this post)

Boost Monkey · 03-02-2006, 11:22 PM

looks like its going to be the 1st and 3rd thursday of each month for drifting according to their schedule. im sure it will be more, but i hope the price wont be too far off from the $50 last year.

blu808 · 03-02-2006, 11:31 PM

You guys are hella cheap. $100 per event would be cheap for this. To get anything close to this level of practice would req going to socal, paying for hotel, gas ( $400 ) for me, and the time. This is awsome. I bet we see socal people attending the ncda altamont events.

LOLOLOLOLOL

Ritz S14 · 03-02-2006, 11:35 PM

HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like these events will be PACKED from guys all over now.

Boost Monkey · 03-02-2006, 11:59 PM

haha...cheap/broke....guess its a thin line. the less it cost, the more events i can attend. either way, i'll be there

monkey7 · 03-03-2006, 03:14 AM

I rather go to the Altamont then run on that crap tire shredder at Golden Gate Fields.

breakindrifts · 03-03-2006, 03:31 AM

Ehh how far is altamont from socal? Say Ventura cty area?

-usmd-180sx · 03-03-2006, 04:45 AM

its in Tracy, so... do the math?

infinitexsound · 03-03-2006, 08:47 PM

from LA hmmm couple hours... just take the 5 north, then cut into the 80,580, and then exit ... drive around go under a over pass then make a left.... and see all the LP guys standin around, shock drifin doin bankin drifts, andrew takin pics, alot of spectators... and me not there... cause im too busy.. but hey i will be there hopefully if they do a road race session... workin on gettin my scca liscense sucka....

Boost Monkey · 03-03-2006, 09:21 PM

haha, yah its a only couple of hours from LA...if youre doing a buck sixty the whole way (too bad most of our 240's cant go 160mph haha). from LA, its going to be about 5-6 hour drive give or take depending where you are coming from.

are you serious? 80?

what's wrong with just 5 to 580? 5 to 80 to 580 is like 150 extra miles or sometihng

infinitexsound · 03-03-2006, 10:53 PM

im very serious andrew 80 is faster.......NO lol what i meant to say was the V section 580 or what ever..... but yeah........... basically u can see altamont when it curves.... bright lights always for shure..... whats that road where the gas station is? u can like exit there and drive thru the hills as a short cut also....
